Hi everyone,

I’m thrilled to report the success of the Amazon book campaign on June 23rd The Woman of Wisdom book reached #17 on the best seller list and #1 in 6 categories including Self Help, Personal Transformation, Women’s, Feminist, Dreams and New Age.

I appreciate every person who purchased the book – they’re from all over the country, Europe and Australia as well. It’s very exciting to hear from people how they love the book.  I even heard from a man who wrote a lovely email:

“It’s glorious, delicious, and inspiring.  Yes, there are men around who do our best to honour the Feminine, and I’m one of them who appreciates this written/illustrated/poetic offering to our world.  Many thanks!”

I’m so excited you are visiting my site, and that this week is the launch of the Women of Wisdom book on Amazon. I hope to share stories here and will start with sharing some excerpts from the book.

If you have purchased the WOW book, thank you! I hope you enjoy it and that it transforms you just as the WOW conference has changed women’s lives in Seattle for the past 17 years.  And please share the book with your friends, send them an email about the special gifts they will receive when they purchase the book.

Check out the bonuses from the WOW partners and visit their websites. There are some amazing people involved in this campaign, some have been presenters at Women of Wisdom so I know their work personally.  We have been blessed to have many women at WOW who have shared their gifts with us.

An excerpt from the book :

The Millionth Circle: Transforming Ourselves and the World

by Jean Shinoda Bolen

If we are ever to have a post patriarchal world, it will begin in the United States, and it will begin with the generation of women over 50. There has never, in the history of the world, been such a generation of women in numbers or potential. There are over thirty million of us, who, thanks to the women’s movement, medical advances, and reproductive choice, have had opportunities, access to resources, education, travel, a range of know-how, and connections with each other and to others in the world. Each of us may have two or three active decades in which to make a difference. The fate of our planet also hinges on what humanity does—or what women individually and collectively can and will do, in this same short span of time.

It’s our turn. If we do not make it into a post-patriarchal world, then we will have failed. That’s really the message that I have felt in my bones. We have been under patriarchy for four thousand years—from the time history has been written—and it is time for the circle. Patriarchy is about hierarchy. It is a structure that enforces and expresses authority and power. In contrast, the circle is egalitarian and collaborative. To have a place in the hierarchy is about persona, often about posturing and the need to be aggressive. To seek power over others doesn’t nourish the soul.

Male leadership cannot change the fundamentals of masculine hierarchy. For there to be a balanced world where those without power matter, empowered women such as we can be, need to speak for the children, women, animals, and for our beautiful planet itself. Women’s wisdom, experience and compassion are missing when decisions that affect us all are made.
